Nigerian striker Joseph Okonkwo will be playing for Argentina Arma after agreeing a three - and - a - half month deal with the Italian Serie D club this week. <br /><br />Inserted into the contract the 27 - year - old signed is an option to extend the deal when it expires at the end of December, provided he does well during the probationary period.<br /><br />&ldquo;I started training with Argentina Arma already. I have lived in Italy for the past nine years, so I do not need a work permit to play here as I have Italian residency.<br /><br />&ldquo;I have played in Malta for too long. I think I decided to return to Italy. Italy is like my second home. I have my family and friends here, I grew up here.<br /><br />&ldquo;I had option of joining teams in Malta and Sweden, but I chose Argentina Arma, &rdquo;says Joseph Okonkwo to <b>allnigeriasoccer.com.<br /><br /></b>The former Valletta, Floriana and Plateau United man has been handed the number 30 jersey by the club.<b><br /></b>
